Janis Procyk:

Practical in person, royal on the runway

By Ashley Martin Unlike a fairy-tale princess, Janis Procyk never dreamed of being where she is today.

Growing up, the idea of becoming a fashion designer with a burgeoning career seemed impossible.

In Fillmore, population 250-or-so, she was exposed to typical professions — accounting, policing. But a career in fashion, like the designers she saw on Project Runway?

“That seems so wild and crazy, there’s no way there’s a job for that,” said Procyk, who showcased her inaugural collection at Saskatchewan Fashion Week (SFW) this month.

After high school, she moved to Lethbridge to pursue a business management degree.

She started working in event management.

She was uninspired.

Then three years ago, a cousin her age died in a car accident.

“That was kind of the kick. Life is so short to be miserable, you just need to live every moment to the fullest,” said Procyk, 24.

She moved to Vancouver to study fashion at the Blanche Macdonald Centre.

She’d always liked fashion and would sew the odd thing; her grandmothers had taught her the basics.

At school, “Everything made sense and I’d pick things up right away.”

But last fall, finished her fashion design diploma, Procyk still wasn’t sold.

When she returned to Saskatchewan, she met with local designer Dean Renwick to gauge the industry.

She started working with him in January.

It was Renwick who encouraged her to apply to SFW. With 40 illustrations to choose from and fabric sourced, Procyk was “on turbo mode” since February to complete her collection for Prahsik Designs.

She didn’t expect to win the SFW emerging designer award — she was watching Laurie Brown’s show when she was called backstage with the other designers.

While texting her sister, she heard her name announced and she was shocked.

“I cried on stage,” she says, embarrassed.

“All of a sudden it hits you with a wave, I have been working so hard on this for so long ... I’m so honoured and so excited.”

She’s only beginning.

Procyk is filling orders for her fall/winter line, creating a spring/summer collection, and designing custom pieces for clients.

And she’s still working with Renwick as a pattern-maker.

“It’s interesting to be working on pieces that I wouldn’t normally make for myself,” said Procyk of Renwick’s more mature designs. That said, “We both do a lot of tailored looks.”

THE EVIL QUEEN

QC PHOTOS BY BRYAN SCHLOSSER

Procyk’s fall collection is made up of eight looks inspired by the fairy-tale evil queen.

“I wanted the label to represent a sophisticated, powerful woman,” said Procyk.

“I always had a soft spot for the queen. Everyone views her as being this villain, but she’s a powerful, successful, confident woman that like, ‘Have at ’er.’ ” She got the idea while trend forecasting for a school project last year. The abundance of black lace hooked her: “It’s pretty but it also can be very raw.”

FASHION “I’m pretty simple. I usually go for comfort,” said Procyk of her own wardrobe. “Comfortable shoes, jeans a lot of the time, loose shirts, stuff that I can move in.”

Function is key for Procyk. “Any piece that I wear, you can dress up, you can dress down. I’m all about function for things.”

She’ll dress things up a bit more when she’s going out, but she never gets too crazy.

“I feel like my personality is always above the clothes that I’m wearing anyway, so I just wear stuff to be comfortable and to be able to be myself in.”

Even some of her own designs are too bold for her taste: “The jumpsuit, I don’t think I would even have the courage to wear it.”

ROSALEE LONGMOORE

’

L E A D E R P O ST.CO M /Q C

A life devoted to serving others

There was always something that was just so wrong, to try to right a wrong.

– Rosalee Longmoore

By Ashley Martin With an aluminum ladder as her podium and a parking lot as her stage, Rosalee Longmoore stood her ground.

“I’m prepared to face whatever I have to face to get a collective agreement for these people,” she told the media and her throngs of fans on April 11, 1999.

Larry Hubich remembers it well.

The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour president recalls a cheering sea of 300 nurses, many in uniform, some holding picket signs, chanting “We love you Rosalee, we won’t go back, we won’t go back, we won’t go back.”

The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN) strike was three days in at that point.

After months without a collective bargaining agreement and negotiations at a standstill, the members walked off the job.

At the time, the average nurse made $22 an hour. The union was demanding a 22-per-cent wage increase.

Longmoore had been SUN president for less than a year. She was appointed as president in 1998 to carry the union through bargaining its new contract. It was no simple task. SUN faced the ire of government (which introduced legislation to order the nurses back to work), was found in contempt of court and was fined $120,000 (for disobeying that law).

Finally by the end of July, a 13.7-per-cent increase was agreed upon.

It was eight-per-cent short of the union’s demands, but the strike was a pivotal moment for nurses in Saskatchewan, says Hubich.

“It was kind of like the groundbreaking strike where the nurses’ union defined that they weren’t about to be pushed around by anyone and I think that subsequently resulted in governments treading a little more carefully when it came to the bargaining table,” he said. “They were defenders of their rights and they would go to whatever length they deemed as necessary to ensure that their rights were protected and that their voices were heard.”

In the midst of the walkout, then-health minister Pat Atkinson stated, “Never again will we allow ourselves to get too busy with other vital issues to fail to listen and to respond.”

Tracy Zambory recalls a stalwart Longmoore in front of a bank of media microphones.

“They were just pounding her with questions and she did not bat an eye,” said Zambory, Longmoore’s successor as SUN president. “She was as solid as can be. 1999 for SUN was a turning point and she led us through; it was the watershed moment for the union and it was no small feat.”

Longmoore’s strength during the months of negotiations is probably what kept her around for another 14 years.

“She was very loyal and responsive to the membership,” said Hubich. “She put herself in a significantly difficult position because if the government was going to prosecute someone, they would have probably prosecuted the president of the union, so she risked being fined and perhaps more than that.”

Rosalee Longmoore addresses the media and hundreds of nurses in the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses parking lot on April 11, 1999, during the SUN strike.

■ ■ ■ ■ After a 15-year leave of absence, not many people can step right back into their old job.

At age 60, Rosalee Longmoore could have retired when her SUN presidency ended.

With three grown children, three grandchildren and a backyard with plenty of space for her favourite hobby, gardening, no doubt she could have filled her time.

But not long after her term ended in June 2013, Longmoore returned to her old job as a nurse at Extendicare

Elmview.

She started her nursing career there in 1976. But her history as a caregiver dates back further.

Growing up, Longmoore helped take care of her father Willis Tetreau, a dialysis patient awaiting a kidney transplant.

She worked as a nurses’ aide at Extendicare Sunset in the early 1970s during a break in her nursing studies.

As a wife, she cared for her quadriplegic husband, John Longmoore.

“All the work that she did with my father and then working full-time

and taking care of all three of us, she blows my mind. She’s an inspiration,” said Savannah McNab, the youngest of Longmoore’s three children.

McNab seemed to follow in her mother’s footsteps; she works as a continuing care aide.

“Helping people and caring for people and knowing they have good care is really important to me,” she said.

■ ■ ■ ■ Longmoore was born in Mankota in August 1952, the second of Willis and Gerda Tetreau’s three children. She

LEADER-POST FILE PHOTO BY DON HEALY

grew up on a farm south of McCord.

Willis developed long-term chronic nephritis when Longmoore was five years old. But when she was in Grade 8, he got much worse. He was once rushed by air ambulance to Regina, and took frequent trips to Saskatoon, the only place in the province for long-term dialysis at the time.

Longmoore finished Grade 8 at Rosemont School in Regina, as the family temporarily relocated for Willis’s care. She started high school close to home in Glentworth, then went to Regina’s Martin Collegiate, then to Saskatoon’s Mount Royal,

moving as her dad’s illness dictated.

Ultimately, she moved to Weyburn to live in residence at Western Christian College. Willis passed away when she was in Grade 10.

A nursing career was already on Longmoore’s radar: In hospitals and clinics, health-care workers had made an impact.

“To our family, the women and men that were there providing care were like angels of mercy to us, because time and time again, they brought him back from near death,” said Longmoore.

We’ve just become so focused on getting them through the medical processes that they’re there for and out the door, that the nursing part of it is forgotten. – Longmoore

Then there was her father’s endorsement: “I remember my dad saying to me one time, ‘You should think about being a nurse; they make $20 a day’ …

It was a career that offered a decent wage, I guess, back then.”

And it was one of the few careers that were available to her, a farm girl from rural Saskatchewan — teacher or secretary were the other two, as far as she knew. She grew up without a television, catching the odd episode of The Ed Sullivan Show or Bonanza at her grandparents’ house.

“Now when you look at the opportunities that are available to young women, the world is open. Every job is open to women now and people are much more aware of the opportunities that are available.”

■ ■ ■ ■ Longmoore began her two-year post-secondary education in 1972 at the General Hospital School of Nursing.

She didn’t finish her second year because flu knocked her out. She moved back home, “to my mother’s dismay.” When she recovered, she got a job as a nurse’s aide at the newly opened Extendicare Sunset.

When the Wascana Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences (now SIAST) nursing program was established, she returned to school.

She graduated in 1976 and got a job at the new Extendicare Elmview.

“A lot of my graduating class had trouble getting jobs,” said Longmoore. “There had been a recruitment drive of nurses from Ontario.

I was lucky to actually get a full-time job with Extendicare.”

Lucky on two counts: At work is where she met her husband, John Longmoore, in 1978. He was a patient at Elmview following paralysis from a motorcycle accident.

“He was just a gentle, caring soul, cared a lot about people.”

She and John were married in 1980; he died in 2006.

As his disability kept him from working, John was a stay-at-home dad to Ashlee, Dylan and Savannah.

The kids helped take care of him too.

“There were homecare nurses that said they should receive honorary nursing degrees,” said Longmoore.

Her family was one reason for staying in long-term care all those years.

With supportive employers and a predictable schedule, she didn’t see fit to “seek other adventures.”

■ ■ ■ ■ Other adventures found her, though.

While working at Elmview, she became involved in the nurses’ union.

She first served on the local executive and bargaining committee, then in 1984 joined the SUN board, representing long-term care facilities across Saskatchewan.

She later served as vice-president of long-term care and VP of finance, but held no designs for a larger role.

When SUN president Judy Junor left the union to run for provincial government in 1998, Longmoore stepped in — temporarily, she thought — to lead the union through bargaining.

“I found out that (the) family could function very well without me,” and she decided to run for the position.

Over 15 years as president, she represented SUN nationally and internationally.

She worked on a partnership with the provincial government to get 800

more nurses hired in Saskatchewan.

And she bargained better conditions and wages for nurses in Saskatchewan.

“There was always something that was just so wrong, to try to right a wrong,” said Longmoore. “New legislation to fight, new policies that are wrong, new nursing issues that need to be righted.”

One issue in nursing she’s seeing is the way the profession has changed given demands on nurses’ time and resources.

“We’ve just become so focused on getting them through the medical processes that they’re there for and

out the door, that the nursing part of it is forgotten,” said Longmoore.

“And as new nurses enter the system, if this is what they see, that will continue to be the norm if we don’t change the culture and make nursing equally as important as meeting the medical needs of the patient.”

As a nurse and as the spouse of a patient, she’s seen the health-care system from all sides.

“With nursing, it is the never feeling that you’ve done a good job because you’re so busy. At the end of the day, nurses are frustrated, and nurses told me that a lot,” said Longmoore.

“They go home thankful that nothing bad happened but not feeling totally fulfilled.”

The health-care system is the problem, says Longmoore: Sending the least sick person home so the sickest person can take the empty bed is not right.

“We don’t do a good job treating the whole person,” she said.

The worst of it is when nurses encourage families to stay so the patient gets the attention they need, which the nurses can’t provide: “We are so under-resourced … and we’re calling on families to help us. I think that’s pathetic,” said Longmoore.

She copes with the frustration through “healthy outlets for your downtime.” She sees caring for her three children, and three (soon four) grandchildren, as healthy outlets.

She’s looking forward to spending summer in her garden; she loves flowers, and tends a small vegetable garden.

“If I was independently wealthy, I would have a housekeeper before I’d have a gardener,” she says.

She’s on the United Way board; she believes maintaining an interest in the community is important.

■ ■ ■ ■ After retiring from the SUN executive, Longmoore decided she wasn’t done working.

“I just want to go back and kind of see what my 15 years have achieved or not, if anything,” said Longmoore. She returned to Extendicare Elmview part-time to care for its 50 long-term care residents.

As always, her favourite part of nursing is meeting residents and their families.

“Some things haven’t changed a bit and some things there’s a lot of change.”

There are more patients with diabetes and complex medical needs than there were two decades ago. But there’s also more choice for patients in terms of meals and activities.

“The routine and what we do, really, none of that has changed,” said Longmoore.

“I’m still really liking it and I feel like I’m contributing because there’s a lot of young nurses that I’m happy to support and they are a support to me.” amartin@leaderpost.com

Deli sandwich can’t be beat for taste, affordability

By Jenn Sharp The sandwiches at Italian Star Deli are legendary.

Ask anyone in Regina where to get the best sandwich in the city and they’ll likely point you to the little house turned Italian market on Victoria.

An Italian couple, Frank and Gina Giambattista, bought what was then a confectionary in 1966 and began importing their favourite products from back home. The deli is now home to the largest selection of imported Italian goods anywhere in the city (and likely in the province). From the best olive oil to pastas, pesto, sea salt and tomatoes, it’s all here. There’s also a healthy selection of ethnic products from Europe and South Africa, along with a strong representation of Saskatchewan-made products. The couple’s son Carlo and his daughter Marina are carrying on the family tradition.

It’s a boisterous place. Even after the noon hour rush, there’s often a lineup stretching throughout the store for one of those famous sandwiches. Carlo laughs often and asks customers about their day. It feels like stopping in at an old friend’s place rather than a business.

The grocery shopping aside, this place really does make a fantastic sandwich. There are three options — mild, medium or spicy. All come with a selection of deli meats, provolone, feta, pesto, homemade oil and vinegar and mustard.

The medium heat sandwich has sliced banana peppers and the spicy includes the peppers along with Mama Gina’s “super spicy spread.”

I picked up a (huge) spicy sandwich the other day and took it over to nearby Victoria Park as there’s no seating inside the deli. I planned on eating half and saving the rest for later but it was so delicious, that plan flew right out the

window. While the finely sliced deli meat and provolone was excellent and that spicy spread had plenty of kick, it was the soft and chewy artisan focaccia bread that kept me going back for more. Oh gluten, how I love you.

And at $7, you’d be hard pressed to find a cheaper lunch anywhere else.

Up until last month, nothing in Saskatoon quite compared to the Italian Star Deli. Enter the newlyopened Riversdale Deli on the corner of Idylwyld and 20th St. W. Owned by the two Darbys (Kells and Taylor), their dream was to bring fine meats, cheeses and a European-feel deli to the Bridge City.

Products from Italy, Greece, Portugal, London and Montreal are available on the market side.

“All the ingredients we love to work with and that we know a lot about, we bring in. It’s like Christmas here every day,” says executive chef Darby Kells.

General manager Darby Taylor is a genius at bringing in product he knows Kells will love. Everything from pastas, to artichokes, olive oil and my personal favourite, Rozendal vinegar (it’s good enough to drink, trust me), line the market’s shelves.

Riversdale Deli’s sandwiches ($10) may just rival those at Italian Star. Kells makes the bread from scratch every morning, 90 loaves per day. Available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the sandwiches are often sold out before 3. The chalkboard sandwich menu changes daily (there’s always five options) and features the deli’s meats and cheese, along with a vegetarian offering. A pickled product, from Kells’ Ukrainian grandmother’s recipe, is served on the side.

Have you tried a sandwich from Italian Star or Riversdale Deli?

Tell me what you thought about it!

READ MY BOOK #

LOCA L AUT HO RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

ROLLI

Short stories: Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat Hardly a week goes by without some friendly stranger shuffling up to me and asking, “Rolli, where on Earth do you get your ideas?” Well, the answer is surprisingly simple....

From an early age, I loved books.

I loved reading. And before I could read, like all children, I loved being read to. The more stories I absorbed, the more ideas, the more I wanted to come up with ideas of my own.

Creativity, for me, has always begun with stories — and luckily ended with stories, too!

Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat — a collection of 18 whimsical children’s stories — is my third book, my first for children, and one of the very first to be published under knowonder! magazine’s new book imprint.

The stories are by and large of the laugh-out-loud variety, and full of surprises.

There’s a story about a nanny who feeds sweet children — to tigers. There’s one about the greatest battle in history — between vacuum cleaners. And there’s even a plain, ordinary one about a girl who wakes up and decides to climb a tree — forever. Everyone’s favourite story, it seems, is the one called “Handsome and Pretzel.” But there’s no way on Earth to describe that one. You’ll just have to read it.

Reviews of Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat have, so far, been excellent. It was selected as one of only three “Highly Recommended” middle grade titles for the winter season by

Regina author Rolli

ForeWord Reviews, who said it was “destined to resonate with kids who love science and clever storytelling

techniques, and who need reassurance that it’s OK (preferable even!) to be a little strange.” But it’s honestly more important to me that you find the book excellent as well. After all, I wrote these stories just for you.

Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat is available at Chapters, The Artful Dodger in Regina, Amazon, the publisher’s website (www.knowonder.com) and the Rolli Shop (www.rollistuff.com).

If you do buy the book, though, I hope you keep a few things in mind.

Only nasty people fold over corners, or scribble in the margins. Only dirty rascals take a book to the dinner table, and fill it with crumbs.

Only the worst sorts of people read in the bathtub. Prisons are filled with them.

RCMP CHARITY BALL GALA

This week, organizers of the RCMP Charity Ball Gala, held in Regina on May 24, were still tallying up exactly how much was raised for Creative Kids, an organization that helps remove the financial barriers preventing kids from participating in activities such as music, dance, art, culture and theatre. But Christie Nenson of Creative Kids said they are confident the fundraiser reached the $65,000 goal.

The gala showcased local entertainment representing a variety of artistic mediums. Saskatchewan-inspired cuisine was prepared by RCMP chef Jeff Varls.

This is the first of a two-year commitment to have the RCMP fundraiser support Creative Kids. Started

by SaskCulture in 2010, the Creative Kids program has raised over $1 million and helped over 2,800 kids in 122 communities from across Saskatchewan.

The organization provides financial support for kids in need, so they can participate in creative endeavours, such as learning to play the guitar, act on stage, take dance lessons or learn a language.

Since its inception in 1991, the RCMP gala fundraiser has raised millions in support of Saskatchewan-based charities.

Spring fulfils the locavore’s search for a wine alternative

By James Romanow Once upon a time I was in charge of throwing a weekly art gallery party for openings. Essentially the choice of what to serve was a dessert party or a wine and cheese. I learned the two crowds had little overlap. If wine was on the menu, the dessert crowd was disgruntled and left early. If dessert was the choice, the winos made a valiant effort to stick it out but tended to drift away.

These days “dry” table wine offers both alcohol and sugar. Moreover, foodies have leaped into the affray, carrying the banner “Local!” on high. As most of the world lives in latitudes where the climate is either too cold or too hot for wine grapes, locavores have begun demanding alternative beverages to wine.

Mead, or honey wine, is one such choice.

Unadulterated, it is a truly sweet beverage.

To balance it, many meaderies cut the product with fruit juices to add flavour and acidity.

Cypress Hills Winery produces a number of honey wines available both at the meadery and through the SLGA. Spring is a blend of ripe sour cherries and honey wine, and a recent winner of a double gold medal in the mead category at the All Canadian wine championship. It is an intense berry flavoured drink, with a bouquet of cherry and cinnamon. For me, Spring is best as a spritzer
